Sorry for chiming in late, but the discussion seems to be ongoing.
I think it's just as easy to pick the most granular time unit that is
likely to be used in the future and stick with that.  In this case, that
would seem to be milliseconds.  A user can readily look at a millisecond
display and derive centiseconds, deciseconds or seconds. 

While it is certainly "nicer" to have an object that reflects the
protocol units, the fact that this is a unified MIB lends some support
to being as inclusive as possible without going through contortions.
